DataCite launches Global Access Program with support from CZI – DataCite Blog

“DataCite is proud to announce the launch of our Global Access Program (GAP), which is designed to increase access to and adoption of PID services and infrastructure for communities beyond the Global North. The program is made possible by Grant 2022-316573 from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative….

The Global Access Program is based on three pillars: increasing community awareness, supporting and developing infrastructure, and lowering financial barriers to access. These pillars were defined and prioritized by a working group of DataCite members, including current DataCite members from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. As a first step, through the Global Access Program, we are pleased to be hiring three new team members based in Africa, Latin America and Middle East or Asia. We believe that staff based in these regions will be best placed to understand the regional needs and opportunities, as well as delivering and refining the program….

DataCite is committed to taking a proactive role in supporting communities beyond the Global North to develop and adopt open infrastructure through a comprehensive and collaborative approach. As part of this commitment, our goal is to actively address the different challenges that currently prevent organizations from fully participating in and benefiting from our infrastructure services. …”

“Wellcome Trust and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Partners with DataCite to Build the Open Global Data Citation Corpus

Aggregated references to data across outputs will help the community monitor impact, inform future funding, and improve the dissemination of research DataCite is pleased to announce that The Wellcome Trust has awarded funds to build the Open Global Data Citation Corpus to dramatically transform the data citation landscape. The corpus will store asserted data citations from a diverse set of sources and can be used by any community stakeholder. This webinar is the virtual kick-off and shows a conversation between DataCite, Wellcome Trust, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, EMBL-EBI, COKI, OpenAIRE, and OpenCitations.

Implementing FAIR Workflows Project

“Implementing FAIR Workflows: A proof of concept study in the field of consciousness is a 3-year, multi-partner project funded by the TWCF, aimed at building and implementing an exemplar FAIR and Open research workflow based on the reality of an entire research lifecycle. The project will produce a practical and easy to use guide for other scientists to improve the FAIRness of their own research.

Project motivation

Papers only tell a small fraction of the story, hard to comprehensively evaluate a research study based on papers alone.
The complex experimental protocols and data in the field of neuroscience aggravate the reproducibility problems.
Open and FAIR research increase reproducibility and reuse, infrastructure and tools are available but adoption fragmented.
To motivate open practice adoption and FAIR compliance, researchers need concrete examples of FAIR workflows that are easy to implement.

Project objectives

To create an end-to-end FAIR workflow specification.
To enable uptake through adoption and dissemination plans with best practices.
To implement credit tracing and evaluation support for the researchers through the PID graph based on citation and reuse data.
To attest the scientific rigor of the research study.
To enhance discoverability and reuse of the research outputs….”

R= Making it easy to generate CrossRef XML with confidence

“In this module we present the proposal and budget for an open source library to generate CrossRef DOI XML. We imagine a world where people don’t think twice about creating DOIs, and integrate changes with confidence. The proposed libraries could be extended to improve confidence in generating XML for DataCite in web applications as well. This project is unfunded at the time of publication and we are looking for support to realise this mission….”

DataCite Connect Gothenburg

“The DataCite Connect event in Gothenburg provides a forum for discussion and networking for DataCite members and the broader community. The session will focus on national PID and Open Science strategies and how the DataCite community can engage in, contribute to, and support their implementation. Participants will learn about on-going efforts across different regions and will have the chance to work together to identify and discuss alignments between national strategies and their current/future plans that leverage the DataCite infrastructure and services. The outcomes of the meeting will help DataCite members and community to better understand the PID landscape in other regions, connect with PID champions and establish new collaborations. There will be plenty of time for Q&A!

This is an in person event that will not be recorded or streamed. Slides of the speakers will be made available afterwards. Make sure to use the hashtag #DataCiteConnect23 when sharing your experience on socials….”

Discover DOCI, the index of open citations from DataCite – OpenCitations blog

“We’re excited to introduce DOCI, the OpenCitations Index of Datacite open DOI-to-DOI citations, a new tool containing citations derived from publications bearing DataCite DOIs to other DOI-identified publications, harvested from DataCite. The citations available in DOCI are treated as first-class data entities, with accompanying properties including the citations timespan, modelled according to the OpenCitations Data Model. 

Currently, DOCI’s December 2022 release contains 169,822,752 citations from 1,753,860  bibliographic resources, and is based on the last dump of DataCite dated 22 October 2021 provided by the Internet Archive. …”

Mind the gap – what to expect when practicing FAIR – DataCite Blog

“Implementing FAIR Workflows: A Proof of Concept Study in the Field of Consciousness is a 3-year project funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation. In this project, DataCite works with a number of partners on providing an exemplar workflow that researchers can use to implement FAIR practices throughout their research lifecycle. In this monthly blog series, the different project participants will share perspectives on FAIR practices and recommendations. 

In this post, Xiaoli Chen, project lead at DataCite, reflects on the gap between acknowledging FAIR and practicing FAIR….”
